Speaker Biography:

Mauricio E. Ramírez is an artist, curator, and Ph.D. Candidate in the Latin American and Latino Studies Department at UC Santa Cruz with an emphasis in Visual Studies. An expert on Latinx public murals and visual art in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mauricio’s dissertation, “Painting Central America: U.S. Central American Visual Art of San Francisco,” explores the visual expressions and solidarity that emerged in San Francisco’s Mission District as a response to the civil wars in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua beginning in the 1980s. His research sheds light on the history of Central American art and activism, the emerging 1.5 and second-generation U.S. Central American artists, and the intersections of Latinx solidarity with Central Americans. Mauricio is currently a University of California President’s Pre-Professoriate Fellow and a SOMArts curatorial resident, co-curating the upcoming exhibition, CARAVANA: Mobilizing Central American Art (1984–Present), in San Francisco, March 2021.
